The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Bonn Climate Change Conference will take place from 1-11 June 2015, in Bonn, Germany. The forty-second sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI 42) and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA 42), and the ninth meeting of the second session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP 2-9) will convene.

ADP 2-9 will proceed on the basis of the agenda (ADP/2013/AGENDA) adopted at ADP 2-1, structured around workstream 1 (2015 agreement) and workstream 2 (pre-2020 ambition). Under workstream 1, the ADP is expected to discuss: mitigation; adaptation; finance, technology and capacity building (means of implementation); transparency; intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs); and other issues related to elements. Under workstream 2, Technical Expert Meetings (TEMs) will meet on the subject of renewable energy supply and accelerating energy efficiency action in urban environments.

The Subsidiary Bodies (SBs) will take up routine agenda items on: national reporting requirements; market and non-market mechanisms; technology transfer; adaptation; capacity building; least developed countries (LDCs); response measures; gender and climate change; agriculture; science and review; and methodological issues under the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol.
